“What is now happening to the people of the East as of the West is like what happens to every individual when he passes from childhood to adolescence and from youth to manhood. He loses what had hitherto guided his life and lives without direction, not having found a new standard suitable to his age, and so he invents all sorts of occupations, cares, distractions, and stupefactions to divert his attention from the misery and senselessness of his life. Such a condition may last a long time.” PeopleMayLongHappensCareAgeLastsFoundIndividualLosesAttentionChildhoodConditionsYouthLong TimeStandardsHappeningsMiseryWestEastOccupationDistractionAdolescenceManhoodSuitableSenselessness Book:I Cannot be Silent: Writings on Politics, Art and Religion by Leo Tolstoy Source: I Cannot be Silent: Writings on Politics, Art and Religion by Leo Tolstoy
“Here was the astounding fact: the race did go forward; the race did achieve; and in every way the race grew better. Progress through irrational and astounding blunders, whose outrageousness bedwarfed the wildest cliches of romance, was what Kennaston found everywhere.
